Wedgewire Cross-Flow Sieve Panels

The dewatering capacity of a wedge wire cross flow sieve bend screen is
primarily influenced by the screen width, the slot opening, and the wire
size (width). Installation angle, feed velocity and uniform distribution across
the screen are also very important.

Screening efficiency and solids capacity are directly related to the length. Longer
lengths should be considered for feed containing a high percentage of solids.

The dewatering capacity of flat cross flow dewatering screens can be greatly
increased by tilting the wedge wires. The wedge wires are tilted 2 to 7 degrees
depending on the wire size and slot opening.

The effective range of slot openings for a gravity-fed cross- flow screens is
generally considered to be .015" to 1/8".

The installation angle of a flat cross-flow screen is usually 60 to 70 degrees
from the horizon. The point of size separation for this installation angle
is approximately 50% of the slot opening size.
